Explanation:

Water is generally regarded as universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds.

A water molecule has partial positive and negative charges on it thus, it is a polar compound.

  • The binding rule for substances to dissolve one another is that they must be like one another.
  • Polar solutes or substance only dissolves in polar solvents. Non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents.
  • Water is polar and ionic substances are polar too.
  • In water, the positive end of a salt is completely surrounded by water molecules and they hydrate it. The same analogy goes for the negative end.
  • This is called hydration.
  • The hydration complex keeps the salt dispersed in the water.
  • This why water is able to dissolve a broad range of substances.

Describe two applications of transgenic organisms
attashe74 [19]

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination". A wide variety of organisms have been genetically modified (GM), from animals to plants and microorganisms. Genes have been transferred within the same species, across species (creating transgenic organisms) and even across kingdoms. New genes can be introduced, or endogenous genes can be enhanced, altered or knocked out.
